We were delighted to host Digital Unite's Lived Experience of Digital Inclusion Event, where we had a broader look at digital exclusion across communities, including real stories from people.We explored the specific challenges young people face, from device access to online safety, confidence, and the pressures of digital‑first systems. The session included real stories from people who have struggled with digital confidence and overcome barriers with the support of digital champions, friends, and local services. We heard from Auxilia Youth Project, Alzheimer's Society UK and Grace and Sophie from Building Self-Belief CIO.Thank you to Kate Holmes from Digital Unite for a fantastic and insightful day and Capgemini for the support.Watch our full Event reel below!
